"If you are a marine diesel owner, but not yet a marine diesel mechanic, this book is great to have on board."
"The book is covering basic engine parts, more in depth explanations of engine parts, fuel system, how to troubleshoot start problems, diagnosing different sounds and symptoms, maintenance and repair procedures (probably more than most of us will want to perform ourselves - like opening up cylinders and decarbonizing the engine)."
"But very informative for the novice to the knowledgeable."
"great buy, well written, easy to understand book."
"I have spent my life working on the water and with Diesel engines every day , this book in my opinion is very very good it is easy to read and understand it has saved me money and is well worth it I highly recommend this book."
"Great, detailed explanation of the principles, operation, and troubleshooting of marine Diesel engines."

I've also added a couple of images from the physical and the kindle edition of the book to illustrate the issue that I'm talking about."
"I teach an introductory class in electronics at a small university. However, there were some notable gaps in the Second Edition that I typically teach in an electronics class; specifically, I teach a section on transducers and microcontrollers. I've been using the Arduino for class the last couple of years because most scientists would use a microcontroller to design a piece of equipment instead of discrete gates and logic chips. The chapters are designed to be somewhat modular; for instance, I can teach the basics of analog electronics and transistors and then move to microcontrollers without necessarily having to spend a lot of time time on discrete logic chips."

Written by a world-renowned authority of optical coatings, Thin-Film Optical Filters. , Fourth Edition presents an introduction to thin-film optical filters for both manufacturers and users. … The book is an excellent treatise of thin film coatings, explaining how to produce all sorts of different filters selected according to the function they are required to play. It is therefore quite expected that I feel free to state that, in my opinion, this book is a necessity, rather on par with having the use of a coating facility, a good coating program, and a fast computer, for anybody in the field of thin-film optical coatings and filters. Therefore, if you are new in this field, your first priority should be to make sure that you have the undivided use of a copy of this book.

In addition to new or enhanced coverage of many topics, the third edition includes 90 oscilloscope screenshots illustrating the behavior of working circuits, dozens of graphs giving highly useful measured data of the sort that is often buried or omitted in datasheets but which you need when designing circuits, and 80 tables (listing some 1650 active components), enabling intelligent choice of circuit components by listing essential characteristics (both specified and measured) of available parts. Chapter 5 details every circuit artifact that I've encountered in the past thirty years in a through, pragmatic, and straightforward way. My only 'twinge' is that [it] disclosed and explained (in glorious graphical detail and with real part numbers) many topics that I thought were my personal trade secrets ... The way ... [it] present[s] the data allows the reader to get terrific perspective on a lot of landscape in a single view. "Horowitz and Hill's third edition beautifully upgrades their earlier work, with substantial updates to detail, and without compromise to style, content, or technical quality. Delivered in folksy Horowitz and Hill style, it is rich with the kind of nitty-gritty information that's invaluable to circuit designers and manufacturers, much of which is absent (or difficult to find) elsewhere. The information that is now available in the book is absolutely fantastic, both the quality and the quantity, and you should get [it] as soon as you can ..." Wise Warthog blog. It starts from the very basics of voltage, current and resistance without getting heavily dependent on physics theory or mathematics, and proceeds to cover a huge variety of interesting topics. For electronic engineering students, [this book] ... will help you develop the intuitive understanding, which will make it easier to put the maths in context, and it will be invaluable when you do practical work for design projects. The Art of Electronics brilliantly conveys its authors' enthusiasm and experience of practical engineering and is an inspiring read.

Chapter Title Differences wrt 2nd Ed. ---------------------------------------------------------------. ONE: Foundations (=). TWO: Bipolar Transistors (=). THREE: Field-Effect Transistors (=). FOUR: Operational Amplifiers (=). FIVE: Precision Circuits (7a+). SIX: Filters (5a+). SEVEN: Oscillators and Timers (5b+). EIGHT: Low-Noise Techniques (7b+). NINE: Voltage Regulation and Power Conversion (6+). TEN: Digital Logic (8). ELEVEN: Programmable Logic Devices (+). TWELVE: Logic Interfacing (9a+). THIRTEEN: Digital meets Analog (9b+). FOURTEEN: Computers, Controllers, and Data Links (10+). FIFTEEN: Microcontrollers (+). The first four basic chapters have retained their pedagogical structure. Something has been changed, something has been moved to other more specific chapters (for example, Comparators have moved from the Op Amp chapter to the Logic Interfacing chapter). Oh, well, in the meantime there are other, more specialized tables in the applicative chapters and then, I still have the second edition... The "old" 5th chapter ("Active filters and oscillators") has been split into the two distinct and enhanced chapters six: "Filters" and seven: "Oscillators and timers". Likewise, the "old" 7th chapter ("Precision circuits and low-noise techniques" has doubled up into chapter five: "Precision circuits" and chapter eight :"Low-noise Techniques". The old chapter 6 is now the ninth chapter "Voltage regulation and power conversion". While the "fundamentals chapter" on Digital Logic has remained essentially the same, the old chapter 9 of the 2nd edition, "Digital meets Analog", has now been split into chapter twelve "Logic interfacing" and the greatly enhanced chapter thirteen - still named "Digital meets Analog" - that touches all kind of ADCs you can dream of (oh, yes, it still contains sections on PLLs and random noise generators). The treatment of the digital part of The Art of Electronics is now no longer focused on microprocessors, but has widened to embrace PLDs and microcontrollers, each of which earn a dedicated chapter. Gone is the Microprocessor chapter on the venerable 68008 (and its elegant instruction set), and a new conclusive chapter on microcontrollers highlights the increasingly important role of these devices "at the heart of today's [] electronics products" (to quote note 1 of chapter fifteen, in turn quoting Maxim's application note 3967). It appears the final chapters of the second edition that did not make it into this massive 1100 pages (excluding the appendices) tome, will remain frozen in their 1989 timeframe. While few might miss the old twelfth chapter ("Electronic construction techniques"), I bet there could be a market for what were chapter 13 ("High-frequency and high-speed techniques"), chapter 14 ("Low-power design") and chapter 15 ("Measurements and signal processing"). In conclusion, this third edition of The Art of Electronics is definitely worth buying even if you already have the second edition (but a reader who managed to read this far already knew that from the start)."
"I don't fault them for considering it as the gold standard in books on electronics. It contains a wealth of practical information, in charts, tables, and graphs, no other books come close. Omitting the circuit construction is also a loss because prototyping and making the circuit board are an essential art that separates practitioners from theorists. I wish it had fewer annoying trivial errors (how can you not catch a flipped diode on Fig 1.78?)."
"The authors' conversational style never wavers from its intended audience - the technically-minded enthusiast, hobbyist, or engineer confused by other, more in-depth, but "math heavy" texts that do not provide the rapid insight that "H & H" does. Considering how much effort the authors put into writing such an informative book, and how useful it was to me, I felt compelled to return the counterfeit item and am now engaged in finding the genuine article. The "other seller" who sold it to me quickly refunded the purchase amount and apologized for the inconvenience."
